AMD Confirms Press Conference for Computex 2017 - Vega is (Almost) Here
AMD today has confirmed a highly-awaited, long-time-coming, almost too-late-to-be-true press conference on Computex 2017. Via email, the company announced their intention to share a save-the-date announcement for AMD's press conference, scheduled for May 31st from 10 a.m. - 11 a.m.
The conference will be hosted by AMD's CEO Lisa Su and other key executives, and will serve as a venue to "hear more about the latest products and leading-edge technologies coming from AMD in 2017." AMD is apparently "looking forward to providing new details on 2017 products and the ecosystems, both OEM and channel, that will support them." So yeah, this is probably it. A shame about that May 25th Easter Egg with Vega's location on the star charts, but maybe we shouldn't really be complaining, or else AMD might cancel this announcement altogether. And we've waited for Vega long enough, haven't we?

While it is unlikely to beat it (given multiple delays) it has everything to do so (process node, chip size, mem type).I feel like hitting you with an ipad.
And I am not interested nthe opinion of biased people , for the record i fold so for a while nvidia where far shitter then amd for me but i don't force my uses and perception on others go figure.
You used to say stupid shit and still do.
AMD VEGA GPU may or may not failed who know? but the time gap between R9 Fury X and Vega nearly 2 years taken however leak performance from
ES prototypes were terrible. 2 years pass only lower score than R9 Fury X OC to 1400MHz Clock 1 GHz HBM1. 2 years and tons of development cost are dust.
It was suppose to compete with Pascal.
NAVI is suppose to compete with Volta.
Same timeline.
As for Amd being late with Ryzen and vega , from the point of view your taking they were (ive had my system a while too) but as for Amds schedule , it didn't slip much at all ,both Amd and Nvidia were holding on for a new node.
During which nvidia had a better Fab deal ,thats the difference in the end clock speeds and more money to court devs, again its the way its meant to be played.
I am fine with this as i was fine having lesser gfx cards these last few years , bullshit aside ive used crossfire on and off for years and on the whole it was a more budget wise choice.
Yet ive always been a quality over fps gamer and Amd have kept me at ultra settings from 1080p to now @ 4k just fine despite the drama around forums.
Oh and my cards cost me less a year ago with waterblocks then most 1080s still cost now.
A year ago the price of a 1080 would net me 3 480s
And we've seen alot of improvement on driver-level since release of a GPU (The RX480 for example does a almost 30% better these days compared to launch).
By looking at the specs of vega on tpu it looks very promissing and future wise. They no longer cant produce chips that have a brute-force approach such as the 290X or Fury X which comes with more heat and complications then ever. AMD will get there, sooner or later, they have a treasure of technology in house which is worldwide used these days by many company's.
And all the games i play work fine on crossfire , in the end its always about what you're going to do with them that really matters, GtaV ,dirt rally, prey ,civ 6 and farcry 4 atm all at 4k highest settings i Can but thats secondary to folding flat out all the time.
I hope vega is better, but I have no hope it'll do what they say and I imagine we will have to deal with an x2 card to compete in the Ti space which means gobs of power and heat AGAIN.
I have said many times i wont be buying nvidia until they behave a little less shitty to my personal beliefs.
your opinion or the facts cant change that, only nvidias business and marketing department can sort that out ,that and a better market place.
So i hope vega is as good as i hope, because it might bring nvidia back down to realistic prices.
Huang reckons geforce is a console and in proprietary terms i get that, hes right ,,,but in that case they haven't the decency to actually launch it as a platform or back it as a dev ,no its inferred and done behind a line in the background ,ala its the way its meant to be played.
At least sony ms and Nintendo are clear on who and what they are.
In recent years nvidia has been a software company hardware company now motor ai company and console ish dev.
Its clear the last few years they have been trying to strongarm the pc gaming ecosystem into a fenced world where only nvidia works right in gaming , with this console generation they lost that war hence the diversification ,well the possibility of high returns helps too.
In reality your seeing the last remnants of nvidia as the graphics chip maker we all know and love , god knows what they will become.
Its not a coherant and clear company strategy imho and some of their products have been equally vaguely marketed.
Edited to death sorry I wasn't coherant before.

Oh dear.
I have never once considered doing SLI/CrossFire since then. It's best to just buy a single-powerful graphics card and replace it every generation or two.I am also happy with gaming at 1200p. I am just now getting ready to finally increase that to 1440p with a new monitor. 4k monitors aren't quite there yet for all of the qualities that I am looking for.
